Disc golf is very unique in that it is played and enjoyed by all ability levels, and by those of school age or old age. Because disc golf is so easy to learn, no one is excluded.

Many disc golf players are member of the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA), the governing body for the sport, which sanctions competitive events for all skill levels and ages, and provides many players services such as maintaining a course directory and establishing rules of play.

The Disc Golf Course opened the summer of 2003. It came about as a result of locat disc golf enthusiasts working with the Levelland City administration and Parks Department personnel, with special assistance and guidance from Lubbock disc golf enthusiasts. The course is one of the best courses in the region with concrete tee pads and Mach V baskets.

Disc golf was formally started in the early 1970s. In Lubbock, several disc golf enthusiasts introduced disc golf in the late 1980s at a Mahon Park. They then donated tremendous amounts of time and money and moved the course across town to Mackenzie Park in 1993. The course was then enhanced with more basket placements and with the installation of concrete tee pads from 2000 to 2003.
